1. The heros return and Terrador's secret

**_I do not own Spyro or any other thing apart from White, his Chaos breath and his keyblade._**

**_White will not be using the force nor Chaos breath till the next story. This is a remake of The Legend of The White Dragon. The end of this chapter and the others after that are in Rob/White's POV_**

**_Chapter 1 The heros return and Terrador's secret_**

In a place called The Dragon Realms there is a city called Warfang. The Dragon City to most. Warfang was nearly destroyed and would have been alone with The Dragon Reamls. If it wasn't for the purple dragon Spyro and the one black dragoness loved Cynder who stoped The Dark Master Malefor. But they only put a halt to Malefor's plans for now. And when The Dark Master returns not even Spyro and Cynder will be able to stop him alone.

As the weeks went by in Warfang nearly everyone gave up hoping Spyro and Cynder where alive. Everyone apart from a dragonfly called Sparx. Sparx had lived with Spyro all his life and they are like brothers to each other. No matter how much the Dragon Guardians Cyril,Volteer and Terrador said to him Spyro and Cynder was dead he didn't listen to them. On the day Sparx gave up hoping Spyro and Cynder where still alive he was outside The Dragon Temple. It was midday and as he looked to the horizon he saw a purple dot and black dot come toward Warfang. Sparx was just thinking it was he's mind playing tricks on him. But as the dot's came closer he saw they where Spyro and Cynder and he went to get the Dragon Guardians. When he got back with them they saw a purple dragon and black dragons in there teen's years. Sparx couldn't believe his eyes nor could the Dragon Guardians. In frount of them was Spyro and Cynder and Sparx said Cyril "See I told you it wasn't my mind this time."

"Spyro Cynder where is Ignitus?" Terrador asked Spyro and Cynder.

And Spyro said in a sad voice "He.. he is dead. I'm the resone why he is."

Then Cynder said to Spyro in a soft tone "Don't blame your self. If it wasn't for Ignitus we wouldn't be here right now."

"Ignitus was like a father to me." Spyro said still sad.

And Cyril said to Spyro "Spyro cheer up. There is someone who wants to see you."

Spyro said in his nomral voice "Please not Ember. I love Cynder not her."

Then a light blue dragoness about the same age as Cynder came out of The Dragon Temple. She stoped in frount of Spyro and Terrador said "Spyro this is Crystal. You and Cynder aren't the only ones who where able to hatch."

And Spyro asked "What do you mean?"

And Cryil said "Spyro this is your sister?"

Then Spyro said in shock "My.. my sister. But you said all the eggs apart from mine and Cynder's where destroyed."

And Crystal said to Spyro "I wasn't going to hatch near you brother. Cyril hid me when I was an egg."

Then a full grown black dragoness landed next to Terrador as Sparx,Cyril,Volteer and Crystal went inside The Dragon Temple. Cynder asked "How can there be two black dragonesses? I was told that there was only one black egg me."

And Terrador said to Cynder "Cynder this is your mother Onyx and my wife."

Cynder was in shock from what she just heard. Her dad was Terrador the Earth Guardians. As Cynder asked with fear in her voice "Your... your my dad? Bu... but I would of not attacked you all those years ago but I did. How can you be my dad?"

And Onxy said to Cynder "That wasn't you then. It's a shame about what happed."

"You don't have to call me dad. Still it's shame about your brother." Terrador said to Cynder.

And Cynder asked Terrador "I have a brother? Did something happen to him?"

Then Onxy said "Your brother is alive. He's just not in this world. He will be soon. His name is White. Right now he is knowen by his human name Rob."

And Spyro asked "Human name? What is that? Is he even a dragon?"

"He is dragon. A white dragon. There has never been a dragon like that." Terrador replyed.

Then Cynder asked "Is it because of me. He is not living in The Dragon Reamls?"

And Onxy said "Your part of why he couldn't. You see White hatched a day before the temple was attacked. Even at that age he was able to defend himself from the apes. We didn't want Malefor to get someone who could do that under his control."

"What do I have to do with that?" Cynder asked. Knowing she wouldn't like what she would here.

And Terrador said "If you two met each other all those years ago. Then two things could of happend. You would be dead Cynder or Spyro would be dead."

"He wont be here till the morning." Onxy said.

And Terrador said to Spyro and Cynder "Now you two are going to school in two days time. All dragons and dragonesses have to. Even you two and don't worry I wont tell anyone about the love you and Spyro have for each other."

"I don't think that's a good idea. But your my dad so I have to." Cynder replyed.

Later that night Cynder was with Terrador there where in a room with a green pool of water there was bearly any light. Cynder had asked Terrador if he could show White to her.

"Cynder your brother may be a dragon. But because of where he is living now. He will have a form from that place." Terrador said to Cynder.

"Will he remember you or mum?" Cynder asked Terrador.

"That I don't know. Even if he can right now there are dreams to him." Terrador replyed

Meanwhile on a world called Earth a 15 years old boy called Rob was confuesd about what has been happening to him. His dreams have been very weird for two weeks now.

**Rob/White's POV**

Man what is up with me? My dreams have goten very weird. I feel like someone it trying to tell me something and I never usely dream that I'm a dragon. It's the only thing I've been dreaming about for two weeks now. It's the same dream every time. There this full grown black dragoness saying she is my mother and for someresone I've been feeling tired all day.

And I when to bed it was about 10:00 anyway.


	2. A new life,new problems and more

**_I do not own Spyro or any other thing apart from White, his Chaos breath and his keyblade._**

**_Chapter 2 A new life,new problems and more_**

When I woke up I was in a room with stone wall and stone roof. There was light coming from behind me and when I saw my shadow I freaked out. My shadow was in the shape of a dragon in there teens years. And when I looked at my self I was scard. I was a white dragon with silver undersides on my wings and a red stripe on each side of my body. What the hell has happend to me. This isn't a dream I'm sure of that. Then the door in frount of me opend and I saw a purple dragon and a black dragoness. It was Spyro and Cynder. I was so scard that I just fainted. When I woke up a second time I was still the same and I saw a light blue dragoness next to me. She said to me "Take it easy. My name is Crystal and I was told about you."

And I asked Crystal "You where told about me?"

"Yes you go by the name Rob. But not anymore. Your real name is White." Crystal replyed.

"Where am I?" I asked Crystal.

And Crystal said "In The Dragon Temple. Are you ok to walk?"

"I think so. Why?" I asked Crystal.

"I'm not saying. Just come with me." Crystal replyed.

And I followerd Crystal. Some how I knew how to walk as a dragon. Crystal took me outside The Dragon Temple. It was midday outside and I could also see other dragon about the same age as me watching a fight. Well I think it was a fight. As we got closer I saw a blue dragon and a red dragon trying to defeat Spyro and Cynder in a fight. In fact most of the dragons watching had a few cuts here and there but not any of dragonesses. As me and Crystal got closer everyone started to look at me and I felt like I was going to faint again. Then they went back to watching the fight. Man Spyro and Cynder are on one hell of a win streak from the looks of things. After everyone left the sun was seting and Spyro and Cynder came up to me and Crystal. Spyro asked me "Your the one who fainted aren't?"

"Ye... yes I am." I replyed.

Then a full grown green dragon and a full grown black dragoness came out of The Dragon Temple and came up to us. Spyro asked them "Terrador Onxy you where watching wheren't you?"

And Terrador said "Yes we was. I see the White is up now."

"Can someone tell me what is going on?" I asked them.

And the black dragoness who must of been Onxy said "This is going to take some time. First of all your mine and Terrador's son and Cynder is your sister."

Some how I knew she was telling the truth. I could also see it in her eyes. So I said to Onxy "Some how I know you speak the truth. I can even see it in your eyes."

"I know you can son." mum said to me.

Then I said "I'm just confused how I'm a dragon."

Then dad said to me "That can wait for a another day White. Just call me Terrador for now."

And mum and dad left me,Spyro,Cynder and Crystal. Cynder said to me "You took thet better then I did."

"Thanks sis. Your not a bad fighter." I said to Cynder.

"I'm sure you'll be as good as me some day." Cynder said to me.

"I don't know about that." I said back to Cynder.

Then Spyro said "Come on it's geting late. We've got school in the morning. I'm not sure about you White."

And Cynder said "Dad would make him. White your with us in our room come on."

And I followed Spyro,Cynder and Crystal. Crystal has been talking to me to a very soft tone towards me but why. But I know I'll find out as time passes. The next day when I woke up I found Crystal under my right wing and when Spyro woke up he just looked at me. I said to him in a low tone so I wouldn't wake up Cynder and Crystal "Look she wasn't there last night."

And Spyro said to me in low tone "I know she must of moved under you wing over night. I think she loves you."

And I slowly got up so I wouln't wake Crystal up. Spyro did the same so he wouldn't wake Cynder up and we when outside our room. I said to Spyro in a normal tone "You really think she loves me? Me and her have just met each other."

"Must be love at first sight for my sister." Spyro said to me in a normal.

"You mean Crystal is your sister?" I asked Spyro in shock.

"Yes she is." Spyro said to me.

"I have to say Crystal is beautiful." I said to Spyro.

"And I bet that if I asked her what she thinks of you. She should would say the same about you." Spyro said to me.

"You think?" I asked Spyro.

"I can't see why she wouldn't say you not. Most of the other dragonesses yesterday couldn't take there eyes off you."Spyro said to me.

"It's going to be hell for me at school." I said to Spyro.

"It's Cynder I'm worry about. People hate her for her past." Spyro said to me.

"You know. I'm going to help Cynder clear her name. It wasn't her doing." I said to Spyro.

"White can you spend the day with my sister after school?" Spyro asked me.

"Sure it can't hurt to try." I said to Spyro.

"Thanks White." Spyro said to me.

"Should we wake them up?" I asked Spyro.

"Let them sleep. Come lets go and eat." Spyro said to me. It was midday and we where on the way back to The dragon Temple from school. Crystal was asking me was life was like as a human.

"Life was more easyer then but school was boring as hell. Bloody shitheads there always picked on me." I said to Crystal.

"There is no need to talk like that." Crystal said to me.

"Sorry. I'm used to talking like that. I'll try to stop it." I said to Crystal.

"That's if you can brother." Cynder said to me.

"Very funny sis not. I said to Cynder.

Then Spyro said to me "You've tooken things ok. You haven't even said you don't believe about who your mother and father are."

"Somehow I knew mum was telling the truth. I could even see it in her eyes." I said back to Spyro.

"Still your here now. Where you belong." Cynder said to me.

"It will take weeks for me to get used to my new school. I'm usely inside just wrighting." I said.

"I'm sure it won't talk you long to." Cynder said to me.

"I don't know. Crystal can I ask you something?" I asked Crystal.

"What is it White?" Crystal asked me.

"Do you love me? It's just when I woke up this morning. I found you under my right wing alseep." I said to Crystal.

"Who wouldn't love you? Your colour is beautiful. I do love you. Do you love me?" Crystal asked me.

"A bit. But that's as a friend. But that could change in time. And I have to say I think your colour is beautiful as well Crystal." I said to Crystal. She cheerd up when she heard me say it.

"That's what happend with me and Spyro. At first I didn't love him when he loved me. Now I do love Spyro." Cynder said to me and Crystal.

"Cynder we was chained together then. And to tell the truth. I fell in love with you right after I freed you for Malefor's control." Spyro said to Cynder making her go red in the cheeks.

"Someone get me a bucket. I think I'm going to be sick." I said to Spyro and Cynder.

I wish I didn't say that as the next thing I saw was Cynder's tail hiting me on the head. And she said to me "Stop that brother."

"Hey I was only joking sis." I said to Cynder.

Then Spyro said me "Be thankful Cynder used her tail. She could have used her poison element on you."

"Still it hurt. Learn to take a joke will you Cynder." I said to Cynder.

I regret saying that now as I had just pushed Cynder to the point of anger. Cynder said to me in a voice full of anger "You may be my brother. But that won't stop me from hurting you."

"Just cool down Cynder. I didn't mean to make you angry with me." I said to Cynder trying to carm her down.

But befour I could even move Cynder had gone to attack me. Fear had tooked over me body as I was just standing there with my eyes closed waiting for her to hit me but I didn't feel anything. And I slowly opend my eyes and saw Cynder's face was partly full of anger and partly confuesed. I could feel something in my mouth and when my eyes where fully open I saw a white key-like blade with sharp dragon teeth at the end of the blade in my mouth. I was in shock as I had a Keyblade in my mouth and I heard the words _"Fury of The White dragon." _In my head. Then anger took over Cynder and once again she attacked me. But that only get her knocked to the ground out cold by my keyblade and my keyblade disappeared. Spyro was worryed about Cynder as he checked her. To see if any harm was done to her. Then Spyro asked me "What just happend?"

"I don't know what really happend." I said to Spyro.

"We should tell." Spyro said to me.

"No not yet. There is no way I'm leting dad know about what just happend. Not until I'm ready to let him know." I said to Spyro.

"Are you sure about that?" Spyro asked me.

"My mum and dad are behind me aren't they?" I asked Spyro. Spyro nodded his head. And I turned around to see mum and dad behind me.

"What don't you want to tell me? And what happend to Cynder?" Dad asked me.

"I... I don't know how to say it. But I can show you." I said to dad. I summond my keyblade and put it down in frount of dad.

"What is this?" Dad asked me.

"I don't know much. But I do know that it's called a keyblade." I replyed to dad as Cyril and Volteer came over to us. Cyril asked me and Spyro "What happend to Cynder? And what is that thing on the ground?"

"That thing on the ground is a keyblade. My keyblade." I said to Cyril and Volteer.

Then mum said "I can see what happend to Cynder. You shouldn't have."

"Cynder got angry at me for joking around. So angry she attacked me." I said to mum. Then Cynder woke up. She was limping a bit so mum took Cynder to her room. After mum and Cynder was inside The Dragon Temple dad asked as Cyril picked up my keyblade with his tail to have a closer look. . "How much do you know about this keyblade?"

Then it disappeard for Cyril's tail and reappeard in my mouth. I desummoned my keyblade and said "The keyblade is bonded to it's master. There is name people with a keyblade are called."

"And that is?" Dad asked me.

I looked at the ground and said "I'm a Keyblade Master and the keyblade is my weapon."

Then Spyro asked me "A Keyblade Master? Keyblade?"

"I'm a warrior of light and my weapon is made of light to fight the darkness." I said to Spyro. Then there was a bright light and I was a white humanoid dragon with no wings or tail. I had the same clothes that Sora has in KH 2 and I had no horns on my head. Everyone was stairing at me until dad said "You may be a dragon son. But this is from living in another world for so long."

"Well I have more was to use my elements now." I said to dad.

"What do you mean by that White?" Spyro asked me.

"As my true self I can only use my elements like you. As my human-dragon form I will have more control." I said to Spyro.

"That's when you do have a element or elements. We dont' even knon what they could be." Dad said to me. Then I held my right fist closed and blue electricity appeard all over my hand. When I opend my right hand the electricity was gone. I said "Now we know."

"How could you have a element that fast.? It would take more them a day for even one to wake up inside you." Cyril said to me.

Then a voice said "I can help you with that."

Then I heard dad ask "Ignitus is that you? Where are you?" Then a blue dragon appeared next to dad and said "Yes. I'm the new Chronicler."

Then Spyro ran up to Ignitus and said "Ignitus you alive." Spyro was almost crying.

"So did I. I'll talk to you later." Ignitus said to Spyro.

"Ignitus do you know something about White's elements?" dad asked Ignitus.

"Yes. White has nine elements. Five will awake over time. And the other four can't be used. Not with out Cynder's help." Ignitus said to us.

"You mean I have the four elements of Spyro and The four elements of Cynder?" I asked Ignitus.

"Yes and one only you can use. A element called Chaos." Ignitus said to me.

"Chaos?" Spyro asked Ignitus.

"White was born with a powerful enegry inside him. It's called Chaos enegry." Ignitus said to a confused Spyro.

"Shouldn't White be able to use that one first them?" Spyor asked Ignitus.

"White can but only in two way right now." Ignitus said to Spyro. Then Ignitus said to me "You should know the only way you can use your Chaos element right now."

"Chaos Control and Chaos Blast" I said to Ignitus.

Then Spyro asked me and Ignitus "What do you two mean?"

"It's best if White tells you." Ignitus said to Spyro.

"And what makes you say White knows more about that then you?" Cyril asked Ignitus.

"One I can you my Chaos element in three ways. I can use Chaos control to warp to another place or control Blast is easyer to show then talk about." I said to Everyone.

Then I used Chaos Control to warp to the roof of The Dragon Temple and back. Then Ignitus said to everyone "It's only a matter of time till Malefor returns."

"What? Me and Cynder saw him get sealed away again." Spyro said to Ignitus.


	3. Nights

**_I do not own Spyro or any other thing apart from White, his Chaos breath and his keyblade._**

**_I'm adding Nights to the I do not own and I wasn't thinking right when I posted this story and now I cna't change it to a crossover for some reason now but this is ment to be a crossover._**

**_Chapter 3 Nights_**

Dad then said to Spyro "No you and Cynder made it safe of White to came back here and I'm greatful for that, but Malefor will be free again in time."

I then said to Dad "I'm not leaving this time, this time I fight, but if Malefor returns he could take control of Cynder again."

Ignitus then said to me "It won't be Cynder you'll be fighting, Malefor has a daugther called Kate your Cousin."

"My Cousin? Malefor's daugther?" I asked Ignitus.

"You'll find out in time, now I must go." Ignitus said as he disappeared.

"Look's like you'll not be school for a bit son." Dad said to me.

"I don't think that's hardly fair on Crystal, Cynder and Spyro." I said to dad.

"It's ok after all you need Cynder's help remember? I Spyro will help you as well." Dad said to me.

Spyro said to Dad "Sure I'll be happy to help White out."

I said to Spyro "Thanks Spyro your a real friend."

"If you haven't forgoten me and your sister Cynder are in love." Spyro said to me.

"Ok bro." I said to Spyro.

"Hey." Spyro said to me.

Later that Night I was with Spyro, Cynder and Crystal in there room in The Dragon Temple. The moonlight was shing into the room from the window.

I said to Cynder "I'm sorry sis for what happend to day."

"No I'm to one's sorry for what happend to day. I let my anger get the best of me. I know better then to let that happen." Cynder said to me in a soft voice.

Then Spyro came over to me and Cynder and asked us "You two made up yet?"

"We just have." Cynder said to Spyro.

Then everyone went to sleep. When I woke up I was human again and was falling to the ground. I looked around and was in The Dragon Realms but there wasn't anyone else around.

I then heard a female voice ask "Your the new vistor called White right?"

"Your right about my name. I'm White White the dragon." I said to the female voice as I turned around and saw a girl the same age as me with a purple jester-style hat and outfit with a diamond-shaped red jewel on her chest.

She said to me "My name is Nights."

"How do you know about me Nights?" I asked Nights.

"You won't believe me right now but I'm your half sister." Nights said to me.

"I have no reason to not believe you I have a dragoness called Cynder for a sister." I said to Nights.

"Now it's time for you to wake up. When you want to see me all you got to do is close your eyes and sleep." Nights said to me.

I then woke as a white dragona again and for some reason my body just stoped glowing. I then said to myself "I guess when I'm seeing Nights my body glows to show I'm seeing her."

I looked around and couldn't find Spyro, Cynder and Crystal. When the door to our room opend I saw Spyro, Cynder and Crystal come in with a blue hedgehog.


	4. Sonic the hedgehog

**_I do not own Spyro or any other thing apart from White, his Chaos breath, his keyblade, Spyro sister Crystal and White's cousin Kate._**

**_And I know Sonic is OOC so what bite me and White will have mastered all his element's in the next story. _**

**_About time you put me in this story White._**

_Your luckly I did Sonic._

**_Yeah because I had to make you._**

_Oh Sonic one of your friends should be her soon. _In a low tone so Sonic couldn't hear White starts to laught.

**_Whatever._**

Sonic walks off then hears Amy's voice shoult **SONIC THERE YOU ARE.**

Sonic look's at White and see him holding a mobile phone.

_**Dam you White.**_

Sonic starts running away from Amy.

_He should be gone for a while now on with the story._

* * *

**_Chapter 4 Sonic the hedgehog_**

As I looked at the blue hedgehog he said to me "I'm Sonic Sonic the hedgehog the fastes thing alive."

Spyro then said to me "It's ok White Sonic's a friend."

"Sonic? as in Sonic the hedgehog?" I asked Spyro.

Sonic said to me "Yep, I heard about you living on Earth, I saw you once on Earth."

"But if you lived on Earth you would be on the news everyday." I said to Sonic.

"Well you don't watch the news that much then." Sonic said to me.

"Hey I'm only 15 years old, do you think I would watch the news?" I asked Sonic.

Sonic said to me with a grin on his face "Yeah I know."

"Dam I forgot you try to be a smartass sometimes." I said to Sonic as Crystal left.

"Whatevery Whitey." Sonic said to me.

Cynder then asked me and Sonic "Can you two stop it, before you two start fighting?"

"Ok ok sis, after all fighting Sonic would be like asking him to kick my ass." I said to Cynder as there was a bright light and I was a human-dragon.

"Yep it would be asking me to kick your ass." Sonic said to me.

"They don't call you the fastes thing alive for no reason." I said to Sonic.

"Yep you know I'm not the first blue hegdehog to be in The Dragon Reamls." Sonic said to me, Spyro and Cynder.

"What do you mean Sonic?" Spyro asked Sonic.

"I had a look at my family's past, I found out that my father had came here 30 years ago." Sonic said to Spyro.

"So that's why you can be here, but why are you here Sonic?" I asked Sonic.

"When I was looking in my father's journal, I found I have a few cousins here." Sonic said to me.

"So do you know the names?" Cynder asked Sonic.

"Nope just what a look like." Sonic said to Cynder.

I then asked Sonic "Why do I get the feeling I'm one of them?"

"That's because you are White, and because your Cynder's brother, that makes Cynder my cousin as well." Sonic said to me.

"But if I'm your cousin I should have running speed almost like your's." I said to Sonic.

"Only in your true form and your hedgehog form." Sonic said to me.

Sonic then said to Spyro and Cynder "Spyro, Cynder I would like to talk with White on my own."

Spyro and Cynder noded and left Sonic and me alone.

"How can me and you be cousins?" I asked Sonic.

"The chaos enegry inside you is the same chaos enegry that my famliy has inside them." Sonic said to me.

"You mean my chaos element?" I asked Sonic.

"Yes but we don't need the seven Chaos Emeralds to go super." Sonic said to me.

"Ok how can you be so carm about this, Wait your Sonic the hedgehog you don't know the meaning of carm." I said to Sonic and we started to laught.

When we stoped laughting Sonic said to me "My friends won't believe a word of this."

"Do they even know your here?" I asked Sonic.

"Yeah they do." Sonic said to me.

Later that day I was with Sonic was outside The Dragon Temple but not as a dragon or a human-dragon but a pure white hedgehog with three red stipes on his fur at the top with clothes on. (Think Shadow but with white fur instead of black.)

"Not bad looking White." Sonic said to me.

"Now I see what you mean about a hedgehog form." I said to Sonic.

"Still we got to birds with on stone, well three birds." Sonic said to me.

"I know, I learned my Super Form, my hedgehog form and learned how to control my fire, electricity, earth and ice elements in one day." I said to Sonic.

"I just we will be readly." Sonic said to me.

"Readly for what?" I asked Sonic.

"To face our cousin Kate, she's Malefor's daugther." Sonics said to me.

"Been looking at your father's journal a bit more?" I asked Sonic.

"Yes if we don't stop Kate Malefor will return." Sonic said to me.

"Let her try, I'm a keyblade master." I said to Sonic.

"Your not the only one." Sonic said to me as a blue keyblade with Sonic's logo as the keychain appeared in Sonic's right hand.

"Let me guess Blue Blur right?" I asked Sonic.

"Yep yours?" Sonic asked me as I summoned his keyblade.

"Fury of The White Dragon." I said to Sonic as we both desummoned there keyblades.

"There is no way anyone can say we'er not cousin, I know how about I take you to see my friends some time soon?" Sonic asked me.

"Sure why not but first things first, We have to deal with Kate." I said to Sonic.

* * *

Sonic came's back and Amy's not after him anymore

_Where's Amy?_

**_You could say she's a bit tied up_**

_I was woundering when you would do that_

**_And White don't try any thing else I have the Seven Chaos Emeralds with me now_**

_What you mean these Chaos Emeralds_

The Seven Chaos Emeralds appeare in a ring around White

_**What how the hell did you?**_

_Now it's pay back time for making Eggman send his robots after me._

There's a bright light and White become's Super White.

**_Oh Shit_**


	5. True love
